'Black Panther' Challenge Has Raised Over $300K On GoFundMe To Send Kids To Theaters

The #BlackPantherChallenge fund was created to help children in lower income communities see Black Panther in theaters, and they've already managed to raise over $300,000. That's not even including the original $46,000 raised on GoFundMe by New York activist Frederick Joseph, but he then created the #BlackPantherChallenge, and the results skyrocketed.

Thanks to all the support, which includes over 300 GoFundMe campaign aiming to raise funds, the #BlackPantherChallenge has raised over $300,000, which is enough money to send around 23,000 kids to go see Black Panther in the month of February.

The new campaign will accept donations and help distribute them to the other local charities that are still trying to meet their goal and will help them purchase and organize screenings and buy tickets for their local kids.
